CO we ask you, in the light of your knowledge of
automobiles, to judge the Glide strictly on its
merits. The specifications will help you—but better

pare it part by part with other sixes of the same
class and size, and when you have done this, com
pare the price. In the new Glide Light Six "40" you
will find the true yacht-like streamline body—un
broken lines from the headlights to the rear tonneau.

Stand the Pullman five-passenger at the curb beside any
car in its class or out of it and it retains its own air of snap
and distinction. It is heavy enough to hug the road at any
speed—light enough to save tires and gas. The roomy luxury
of the Pullman sets a new standard for cars at anything like
the price.

Scripps-Booth Co. States
Policy on Price Cutting
There's no doubt about how the
Scripps-Booth Co. stands on the sub
ject of price cutting. •
This company has come out with a
"Policy" announcement that is truly
gratifying in its outspoken frank
ness.
"Policy is the background of prog
ress." reads the announcement, "the
basis of commercial success." And,
then—"Scripps-Booth policy stands
for continued advancement and bet
terment irrespective of price, and has '
nothing in cbmmon with the present j
j frenzied cutting of motor car prices." I
I Some very pertinent opinions are'
i given. According to Scripps-Booth '
' policy, price-cutting should be looked :
upon HS 'unsound in principle and •
unfair in practice." Furthermore, and I
again we quote. "Spectacular an
nouncements of so-called new yearly
models at greatly reduced prices have
been used as an unnatural means to
stimulate sales. That this results in
an immediate and unwarranted de
preciation In the market value of
every owner's car at the time the
new announcements are made is
easily seen. Such cars become at
once out of date."
There is a convincing "punch" in
I this statement, "Master products can-
I not be rushed up to date in a few
weeks and made perfect by loud an- I
nouncements."
The Scripps-Booth car is featured!
and everywhere recognized as a mas- j
ter product. That its maker will i
never resort to price-cutting to stim
ulate demand may be gathered from
the following extract:
"The Scripps-Booth Company be
lieves that the policy which will best
protect the interests of Scripps-Booth
owners is the policy that will best
maintain the reputation of Scripps-
Booth cars. To such a policy will
the Scripps-Booth Company strictly
adhere. Its object is to produce the
smartest looking and easiest riding
roadster it is possible to build, which
shall be efficient in construction and
perfect in operation—a pride alike to
those who bxiy the car and those who
sell it.
"We will take no part In the fren
zied slashing of prices now in vogue,
believing it unsound in principle and
ilnfulr in practice. We refuse tto
impair the quality for 1916: we strive
conscientiously to improve it; we I
cannot, therefore, reduce the price, j
"Scripps-Booth prices always will |
be consistent with the standard qual
ity which this tirm insists upon as its'
foundation of growth.
National Design Appeals
to the Women Drivers;
Hue. no doubt, to their associations !
with racing, which is certainly no pink 1
tea affair. National cars have always I
been known as a real "man" proposi- I
tlon. There is a certain s'.yle and dis-* 1
tinctive appearance about the National |
that has caused it to be known as an i
aristocrat among automobiles, carrying
an appearance of more masculinity,
perhaps, than any other extremely \
high grade car. As the National de- j
siern has tended towards refinement, it
has avoided effeminacy. The lithe, low- '
body design of the National to
da. t»!!s of the racing proclivities of ]
its ancestors. The National is a oar >
with fight In its blood and strength in
its sinews, and with an outward ap
pearance that bespeaks these inner
characteristics.
"This year, more than ever before,
have National cars been sold to lady
drivers," said Geor — M. Plckson, gen
eral manager of the National Motor
Vehicle Company. "This is extremely
gratifying, as it has been our endeavor
to. put into the National every refine
ment. style and beauty that would ap
peal to lady drivers, and yet, at the
same timq, avoid any appearance of
eneminacy.
"Now that Nationals are proving to
be favorites among the fair sex, does
not mean that thev are any less mascu
line In make-up than heretofore."
Men Past Eighty Years
Drive Cadillac Cars
An indulgence in motoring, that
runs not to excess is said to produce
steadier nerves and better health; and
if auuht were needed to prove it, the
Cadillac Motor Car Company could point
to it least two notable examples.
These are both men who are past the
eightieth year of their ages; and one
of them is a physician. Jacob Huffman,
who lives near Grand Rapids, Ohio, is
81—he celebrated hiß birthday anniver
sary early in September. The car he
drives is a Cadillac Kiglit and is the
third automobile he has owned. His
first was also a Cadillac, though it
had but one-eighth as many cylinders
us his new one. for it was produced in
1905. Mr. Huffman Is an automobile
enthusiast, and he says his cars help 1
wonderfully in keeping him In trim. I
The doctor is C. E. Wolfe, of New
Albany, Tnd. He enjoys his car in spite
of the fact that has seen 83 of life's
milestones speed backward beside the
| road.

HOW MOTOR CARS ARE PACKED
(The enormous demands made on the railroads by motorcar companies Is
little realized by the public. The average man reads of the thousands of au
tomobiles being produced each year, but he gives no thought to the complicated
task of distributing these cars about the country.
But it is a subject to which the traffic departments of the motorcar plants
have given considerable thought and attention and many ways have been
worked out to utilize the last bit of space in the freight cars.
The method used by Dodge Brothers is typical. From this big plant at
Detroit, completed motorcars are shipped Ave to the freight car. This is ac
complished by virtually arranging for upper and lower berths for the cars.
In loading, a complete car is run into one end of the freight car. Chain
I tackles are attached to the roof of the car at either end of the automobile
j and it is lifted to the top of the car. A staunch frame work is built under It
| after the wheels have been detached. It is carefully blocked and braced and
another car run underneath. The wheels remain on this car and they are care
fully blocked. Two cars are packed in the other end of the freight car In the
same fashion, and the fifth motor car is placed In the center of the car. All
I the cars are carefully covered with heavy wrapping paper.
